Mexico Box Office | Kongzilla repeats on top, Civil War and Abigail underperform

[Purple Minion]

Pre-sales for Black Widow started yesterday, very high expectations.

[Purple Minion]

Damn, F9! The Universal sequel opened to a pandemic-best $10.7M. That's a 5-day OW of 210M lc. Massive.

[Purple Minion]

Other totals are per Deadline:

• $15.8M total for Conjuring 3, leading international market.
• Cruella crosses the ten million mark, 35% drop, total is $10.3M.
• A Quiet Place 2 is now at $5.4M.

[Carlangonz]

JUNE 23RD-27TH WEEKEND. FAST AND FURIOUS HAS THE BIGGEST OPENING OF THE YEAR -AND THE BIGGEST SINCE JOKER- AS CONJURING AND QUIET PLACE HOLD; CRUELLA KEEPS LEGGING EXTREMELY WELL.

 

Fast & Furious 9

• Biggest opening of the year, the pandemic era and the biggest since 2019's fall hit Joker.
• 4-Day is 25% above Hoobs & Shaw however it should be more front-loaded and it should pass $450M+ lc  by the end of its run if it follows F&F8 path

Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It

• Great hold despite competition and screen loss. It has passed Annabelle 3's entire run and should pass Annabelle 2 as well

A Quiet Place: Part II

• Running only 9% behind first AQP at the same point of release. Another success from its predecessor

Cruella

• Now the leggiest Disney live action and among their biggest hits in terms of multi. It has crossed 4x and still has some gas left
• Important to notice that Aladdin faced a big opener as well at this point (3rd biggest launch ever: Toy Story 4) and had a huge 65% drop after an excellent strike of holds. Cruella also faced a monster -on its own conditions- and still "only" dropped 36%

This Thursday opens: The Forever Purge and La Vérite

[Purple Minion]

First time in ages that the total gross of each movie in the Top 4 > 100M lc.

Edited July 1, 2021 by Purple Minion

[Purple Minion]

The Forever Purge opened to $1.3M, about a third of the OS weekend.

[Purple Minion]

Other updates as per Deadline:

• F9 repeats at #1, top OS holdover with $3.8M (-50%) for a running $18.8M cume that surpasses the lifetime of Hobbs & Shaw.
• Conjuring 3 up to $16.4M.
• Cruella reached $11M.

[Carlangonz]

JULY 1ST-4TH WEEKEND. FURIOUS 9 HAS A NICE HOLD AS BLACK WIDOW LOOMS. FOREVER PURGE HAS A DECENT OPENING BUT WAY BELOW ITS PREDECESSORS AND CRUELLA CLIMBS BACK ON TOP 3 AFTER 6 WEEKS OF RELEASE.

 

Fast and Furious 9

• Is beating Hobbs and Shaw by 50% at the same point of release and 32% below Fate of the Furious. It should pass Godzilla v Kong as the highest grosser of the year and the biggest hit since Frozen 2

The Forever Purge

• It opens half below what First Purge did during its 4-Day opening frame. Quite step even considering the pandemic. Should pass $70M

Cruella

• 6th weekend only below such of Coco, Titanic, Avatar and Frozen 2. Amazing success.

This Thursday opens: Black Widow and Te Llevo Conmigo

[Carlangonz]

Thinking Black Widow 4-Day opening around the same as Furious 9's 4-Day opening ($180M)

Really? That doesn't sound right. I mean its only M$9.4M. 6th weekend should be much higher than that. 

 

The Avengers had M$13M 6th weekend, that too 3 days only.

Gotta check Avengers, Aquaman and Nobles, maybe Instructions not Included. Don't trust much on Mojo since they used to consider whole week grosses instead of weekends during 2013-2015 and some weekends are missed so cumulatives are accounted until weeks later in a single or two weekends.

[Purple Minion]

Black Widow is getting as many screen as F9 in opening day. It'll be an exciting run, would be nice to have two 500M lc movies under the present circumstances.

I don't know specifics of market, but 9M seems like really low to be in top 5 for 6th weekend.

tiny thing called COVID? I think the government was talking about a third wave.

I meant 2 days ago the government was talking about 3rd wave. That will impact BO for sure. 

[Purple Minion]

F9 did $1.8M on opening Wed and Thu. $1M for Thu alone is not bad, it wasn't a holiday and the pandemic is affecting movie-going habits. Still the 4th highest pandemic era OD. Fri would be a better barometer.

[Carlangonz]

I wasn't thinking it could beat F9 tbh but I guess delays and being a prequel slowed it. This also makes me think piracy indeed deflated Cruella's opening but then after its wom people thought to give it a chance in theaters; I think deflation will happen here but of course not crazy legs. It still has the holidays advantage.

[Purple Minion]

$4.8M OW for Black Widow. That's less than 100M lc. Did Disney+ eat a lot into its initial gross and we'll see strong legs?
